Raising an Adult: Preparing Your Child for a Successful Life

The author of this book argues that the problem of helicopter parenting has reached crisis levels. Today's youth is not ready to take responsibility for the fate of the country, and cannot even take responsibility for their own lives. Drawing on numerous studies and personal experience, the author notes that parents must first change themselves, not re-educate their children. Based on her family history, she offers advice on how to break free from overparenting and stop the "helicopter parent" cycle.
